Struck
•••For two months on this ship, I have never thought of making myself pretty to impress someone else. I never really dress to impress, even with Benj or to anyone. They said that I don't even need to wear beautiful and expensive clothings because I'm already beautiful. Eye rolling right? But I still do because that's a normal thing to do.
I admit that I'm kinda vain and always want to look my best. That's what my mom instilled in me. That while I'm carrying our family name, then I should give a good impression on everything I do because I'm representing our family at the same time preserving a good family image. And while I'm on this ship, I have forgotten that.
Like nobody actually knows me here or my family. And it'll be weird to dress flamboyantly around simple and rugged pirates, like what I did the first time Halcon gave me that Madame Rousseau collection, so I decided to dress in simplicity and for practicality.
But right now, it feels like I need to dress on my best.
Naalala ko ulit ang itsura ni Seraphia. With those simple clothing, I admit that she looks like an actress who emerges from a pirate movie.
Biglang gusto ko ring magdamit ng pantalon. I missed my jeans and shorts at home.
Nasa cabin ako ngayon at tinitirintas ang aking buhok. The weather suddenly became really hot at mas lalong mainit sa pakiramdam kapag naka lugay ang buhok. Isa pa, I need to have breakfast already, kanina pa tapos kumain ang iba habang kasama ko sina Halcon at ang matandang kapitan.
I'm nearly finished at what I'm doing when the door suddenly bursts open. I was shocked a bit dahil wala namang basta-basta na pumapasok ng ganyan sa cabin, they always knock, well except from Halcon dahil sa kanya naman talaga ito.
I turned around to see who it was. Biglang nag iba ang timpla ng mood ko.
Kinuha ko ang rubber band at itinali iyon sa pinaka dulo ng buhok para isecure ang braid ko.
Hinarap ko ang babae na may nang uuyam na ngiti sa kanyang natural na mapupulang labi. Her arms were crossed while posing at the open door.
Anong ginagawa niya rito? I though kasali siya sa pag uusap nina Halcon?
"Anong kailangan mo?" Hindi na ako nag abala pa siyang batiin. Wala ako sa mood makipag plastikan.
She neared leaving the door ajar. Inilibot niya ang tingin sa buong kabin habang dahan-dahang lumapit.
Her eyes landed on the corner of the room kung saan naroon ang nightgown ko na nakapatong sa isang upuan.
She smirked at may pangmamaliit niya akong tiningnan mula paa hanggang sa ulo ko.
Ngumisi ako at bahagyang umirap. Is she here to bitch me out?
"Dito ka pala natutulog."
"Oo," simpleng sagot ko. I didn't bother giving her some supporting details.
